Fifth graders investigate situations that show how kinetic and potential energy are exchanged. They determine how friction is a source of energy transfer from kinetic to thermal energy by experimenting with a car and track. They answer...

Students are told that the weight of a car is equal to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. When a car is at react on a horizontal road, there must be a normal force with which the road pushes up on the car to keep it...

In this comparing numbers worksheet, students read the graph that shows the number of cars washed per day at a car wash. Students then compare the numbers by answer the questions.

Students calculate a toy car's velocity and acceleration. In this force and motion lesson, students build ramps and attach a dropper to a toy car, which is released down the ramp. Students calculate and graph velocity and acceleration...

Students calculate the distance a car travel using CEEBoT. In this algebra lesson plan, students apply the distance formula to real life scenarios. They use a measuring tape and a formula to measure the distance the ceebot travels.

Students explore the life of race car driver and physicist Janet Guthrie. In this social studies lesson, learners investigate how Janet Guthrie followed her dream of becoming a race car driver. Students complete 7 activities that follow...

In this problem solving worksheet, 4th graders study a table with data involving how many cars were washed each day of the week. Students answer 2 short answer questions. Students utilize the process of addition to solve 2...

In this Enzo Ferrari worksheet, students read about the life of the race car driver, then complete a variety of related comprehension activities. An answer key is included.

Students plan a weekend car trip to Seattle Washington. They leave Friday afternoon and arrive back Sunday afternoon.

In this reading activity, students respond to the book Freight Trains by completing an activity at home with a parent. Students cut out the colored picture of 8 train cars depicted in the book. Students put them in order, lining them up...

Students construct a car with the longest roll using a ramp. They construct Lego cars, modify the wheel sizes and car configurations to evaluate which car design rolls the longest distance, develop a graph, and complete a worksheet.

Students discuss the conservation of momentum in a collision between two bumper cars. They are given the equation for momentum. Students then solve problems using the equation for momentum.

Young scholars investigate the acceleration of a car.  In this acceleration of a car lesson, students make a scatter plot of corvette acceleration data.  Young scholars find a model to fit the data by taking the integral of the...

In this distance worksheet, students read a story problem and write an equation to fit the situation.  Students determine the distance between two signs based upon the speed of a car.  This one-page worksheet contains 1...

Students investigate speed as an important variable regarding force of an impact. Students roll a car down a ramp and into a block of wood. The distance the car travels, the time until impact and the distance the block moves are...

Students investigate the results of different propulsion methods. In this propulsion lesson, students measure the distance a test toy car goes using different types of propulsion. They record the distances in data tables before...

Young scholars explore kinetic and potential energy. In this energy lesson plan, students launch toys cars from ramps in order to examine the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy. Young scholars collect data and...

Students experiment try to build a Lego car.  For this physical science lesson students present and demonstrate the vehicle that they constructed. 

Students explore the concept of ratios. In this ratios lesson plan, students use matchbox cars and models of spaceships to explore ratios. Students determine scale for the above mentioned objects in this lecture style lesson plan.

Students create an artistic response to the book, The Polar Express. In this creative writing lesson, students read the book and visualize an imaginary journey they would like to go on. Students create a train car from construction paper...

Middle schoolers determine how to lower the reliance on petroleum-based fuel. In this environmental stewardship lesson, students create concept cars for the future that using renewable energy.

Students examine slope and build a Lego car that can take a steep slope. In this mechanics lesson students build a car and demonstrate them in class and describe what they did.

students research varied aspects of car design, and create a new design for the exterior body of a car. Students conduct Internet research, respond to writing prompts, and analyze, evaluate and synthesize information from multiple...

Students explore the blending of individual sounds to make words and, using visuals and manipulatives, equate this process to the hooking up of railroad cars to make a train. They link individual letters/sounds to make short words.
